F1 Brazilian Grand Prix live stream — how to watch the race live online
The F1 Brazilian Grand Prix live stream has already seen its fair share of drama before we've even reached the race — with Lewis Hamilton disqualified from qualifying then battling his way from the back of the grid in the Sprint race to finish fifth.

Hamilton had topped standard qualifying on Friday ahead of yesterday's Sprint qualifying session, but the stewards ruled his rear wing to have contravened rules and ordered him to the back of the grid.
It was a further blow to the British hopeful after he'd also been hit with a five-place grid penalty in the race proper for exceeding the number of engine parts in a season. However Hamilton was superb in the Sprint race, moving from 20th to fifth over the course of the 24-lap session, which means he'll start today's Grand Prix from tenth.
Mercedes boss Toto Wolff afterwards spoke of damage limitation, and coupled with Valtteri Bottas' victory in the Sprint ahead of Red Bull's Max Verstappen, it feels like they got away with about the best result they could have hoped for in the circumstances.
Not that Wolff is at all happy about it, asking why Hamilton was disqualified when other — including Red Bull — hadn't been in the past for similar incidents. What's more, he maintained it had given the Mercedes a "performance disadvantage."
Either way, the odds are now against them. Hamilton trails Verstappen by 21 points now, and though Bottas will start first, the Dutchman will still be favorite to take another victory and add 25 more points to his total. Hamilton must hope that he finishes no lower than one place behind Verstappen in order to minimize the gap with just three races remaining after this one.
He'll face a tricky battle to do so, with Red Bull's Sergio Perez ahead of him in fourth, plus the Ferrari's of Carlos Sainz (third) and Charles Leclerc (sixth) also showing good pace this weekend.
The race starts at 12 p.m. ET — and we'll be watching eagerly to see what happens. You can do the same with an F1 Brazilian Grand Prix live stream. Read on to find out where to find one, wherever you are.

How to watch the F1 Brazilian Grand Prix live stream for free
Most countries have an F1 live stream on one channel or another, but many of them require a subscription. However, if you're lucky enough to live in Austria or Luxembourg then you can watch the F1 Brazilian Grand Prix live stream for free.
That's because the race will be shown on free-to-air television on state broadcaster ORF in Austria and RTL in Luxembourg.
If you're based in Austria or Luxembourg but aren't at home for the Brazilian Grand Prix, don't worry — you can watch it via a VPN instead. We'll show you how to do that below.
How to watch the F1 Brazilian Grand Prix live stream from anywhere in the world
It's natural that you might want to watch the F1 Brazilian Grand Prix live stream from your home country, but what if you're not there when the race is on?
Look no further than a VPN, or virtual private network. A VPN makes it look as if you're surfing the web from your home country, rather than the one you're in. That means you can access the streaming services you already pay for, from anywhere on Earth. Or anywhere that has an internet connection, at least.
For instance, a Brit who's currently in the U.S. could watch the F1 Brazilian Grand Prix live stream on Sky Sports, even though they're not in the U.K.
They're totally legal, inexpensive and easy to use. We've tested lots of the best VPN services and our favorite right now is ExpressVPN . It's fast, works on loads of devices and even offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you're in the U.S. and want to view a U.K. service, you'd select U.K. from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to Sky Sports or another website and watch the race.
How to watch the F1 Brazilian Grand Prix live stream in the US
As with all F1 races this season, the F1 Brazilian Grand Prix live stream will be shown on ESPN. There are several ways you can access it — and two of them are among our picks for the best streaming services.
As well as being available through your cable service across the weekend, you can also stream the race via the ESPN app, or on the Watch section of ESPN's website. However, you'll need to authenticate with your satellite, cable or live TV provider credentials to watch any sessions. Also note that Formula 1 is not available on ESPN Plus, ESPN's standalone streaming service; you need access to live ESPN channels.
Coverage will be spread across various ESPN channels, with Practice 1 on ESPN2, Qualifying on ESPNU, Practice 2 and Sprint qualifying on ESPNEWS and the race on ESPN2.
If you don't want to pay for live ESPN in some fashion or another, your best alternative is F1 TV Pro. This is F1's own official F1 live stream service, and as with ESPN's own coverage, it uses the feed from Sky Sports F1.
F1 TV Pro costs $10 per month or $80 for the season, which is much better value considering there are set to be 23 races this year. Plus you also get Formula 2, Formula 3 and Porsche Supercup races, and F1's archive of classic Grands Prix.
And remember, if you're usually based in the U.S. but aren't there at the moment, you can still watch the services you already subscribe to via a VPN such asExpressVPN — meaning you can view an F1 live stream from anywhere in the world.
How to watch the F1 Brazilian Grand Prix live stream in the UK
As usual, Sky Sports F1 will show all of the Brazilian Grand Prix action, and in up to 4K resolution. The race starts at 7 p.m. GMT on Sunday.
You'll need to be a Sky Sports subscriber to watch the F1 Brazilian Grand Prix live stream: the Sky Sports F1 channel is available for £18 per month, and there are packages available that give you lots more channels for only a bit extra.
To follow it in ultra high-definition 4K, you'll need to pay a little more: you'll need a Sky Q set-top box and a package that includes both Ultra HD and Sky Sports F1. In total, that'd come to £45 a month, plus a £20 one-off payment if you're not an existing subscriber.
A far cheaper option is to buy a Now Sports Pass. This will give you all 11 of the Sky Sports channels for a limited time, with pricing starting at £9.99 for a Day Pass and £33.99 for one month. There's no 4K available here though.
Again, if you're usually based in the U.K. but are elsewhere at the moment, you can still watch the services you subscribe to by using one of the best VPN services.
